The Texas journalist, who had been summer

the quarter deck he published a small and I'M
pretentious card, in which he said:

A Chance for a Big Discussion.

The Emma Abbott incident at Nashville
promises to become much more prominent
and important than anybody had any idea
of when it occurred. The request of the
North Alabama Conference of the Southern
Methodist church for the resignation of DR..
d. G. Kelley as Missionary Secretary of the
General Conference, because of his defense
of Emma Abbott and the theatre, will
naturally provoke great deal of discussion.
The question will, doubtless, be raised
also whether the Alabama Conference
had the right to request DR..
Kelley's resignation as he holds his office by
an election of the General Conference. He
will hardly submit to be condemned with
out hearing, and in the summary way in
which the Alabama Conference proposes to
condemn him. If the question of DIR. KEEL
ley's right to say what he did with regard
to the Emma Abbott incident gets into the
General Conference very lively discussion
may be provoked, not only with regard to
the influence which the theatre exerts upon
society, but also, whether members of the
Methodist church ought not to be strongly
advised against patronizing the theatre.
A discussion of the theatre begun by the
Methodist church may be participated in by
other churches, and by the press. Such
discussion, if conducted in the right spirit,
could hardly fail to be interesting.
In this connection some remarks made by
Col Robert Ingersoll at a dinner on
Tuesday night in New York are
calculated to attract attention. Among
other things Col Ingersoll said:
II believe in the medicine of mirth, and
what l might call the longevity of laughter.
Every man in this world who has caused
real, true, honest mirth has been a bene-
factor of the human race. / like the stage
because the greatest man that ever toached
this grain of sand that you call the world
wrote for the stage, and poured out a very
Mississippi of philosophy, and pathos, and
humor, and everything calculated to
raise and enoble the human race
| like to see the stage honored, because
actors are the ministers, the apostles of the
greatest man that ever lived, and because
they put flesh and blood and passion upon
the greatest characters that the greatest man
drew. That is the reason like the stage
1t makes us human. A rascal never gained
applause on the stage. A hypocrite never
commanded admiration, except for the
naturalness of the acting. No one has
ever yet seen any play in which, in his
heart, he did not applaud honesty, hero
ism, sincerity, fidelity, courage and self
denial Never. And no man ever heard a
great play that did not get up a better and
wiser and more human man."

the theatre as well as much for it. But take
it all in all cannot more be said for than
against it!

A Republican Programme.

The Philadelphia Press says that it is the
purpose of the Republican party to come
Unto the South and contend for votes for
its distinctive principles" That is just what
it ought to do. If it has any principles that
are distinctive, it ought to let the people in
all parts of the country know what they
are. John Sherman visited the South few
months ago and made speech at Nashville
which attracted some attention. 1t was a
little different from tho speech which he
subsequently made at his home in Mansfield,
o. At Nashville he did not charge that the
negro vote was suppressed but at Mansfield
that charge was the feature of his speech.
The South has no objection to the pro-
gramme which, according to the Philadel-
phia Press, the Republican party has de-
cided upon. 1t will listen to all that the
Republican orators have to say. The Re-
publican party will make much more prog
ress toward gaining votes in the South, as
Stunning that it can make any. by an open
manly canvass for them tnhn by shouting
at long range that old worn out falsehood
that there is not free ballot and fair
count in the South. Let Senator Allison,
Mr.. Blaine, Senator Hawley and
other distinguished Republicans make
tour through the South de-
livering speeches explanatory of the
distinctive principles" of their party. 1t
would trouble them, probably, to tell what
distinctive principles" their party has. 1t
is true that it believes in high protective
tariff and in the spoils system, but what
else? Let the Republican orators come by
all means, and let the Philadelphia Press
send member of its staff along in order
that its readers may be informed how they
are treated.
